Whatever your job description, expect to be evaluated, at least in part, on your communication skills.
Even if you don't anticipate a “writing" career, expect to be a “part-time" writer , who will routinely face situations like these:
• As a medical professional, psychologist, social worker, or accountant, you will keep precise records that are crucial to patient or client welfare, and, increasingly, a basis for legal action.
• As a scientist, you will report on your research and explain its significance.
• As a manager, you will write memos, personnel evaluations, inspection reports, and give oral presentations.
• As a lab or service technician, you will keep daily activity records and help train coworkers in using, installing, or servicing equipment.
• As an attorney, you will research and interpret legal issues for clients.
• As an engineer or architect, you will collaborate with colleagues in related fields before presenting a proposal to your client. (For example, an architect's plans are reviewed by a structural engineer who certifies that the design is sound.)
Managers and executives, for example, spend much of their time negotiating, setting policies, and promoting their ideas—often among diverse cultures around the globe.
